This is a list of the genres available on Music Playground. Please use this list when you are determining your tracks genre.

Alternative DanceMusic that mixes melodic song structure of alternative and indie rock with the electronic beats, synths and/or samples, and club orientation of post-disco dance music.

AmbientMusic that focuses largely on the timbral characteristics of sounds, often organized or performed to evoke an "atmospheric", "visual" or "unobtrusive" quality.

BreakbeatMusic usually characterized by the use of a non-straightened 4/4 drum pattern. These rhythms may be characterised by their intensive use of syncopation and polyrhythms.

ChiptuneMusic generally consisting of basic waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves and sawtooth or triangle waves, and basic percussion, often generated from white noise going through an ADSR envelope or PCM samples.

ClassicalMusic consisting of the instruments found in an orchestra, together with a few other solo instruments (such as the piano, harpsichord, and organ). It often aspires to imbue a very complex relationship between its affective (emotional) content and the intellectual means by which it is achieved.

DiscoMusic influenced by funk, Latin and soul music. The disco sound has soaring, often reverberated vocals over a steady "four-on-the-floor" beat, an eighth note (quaver) or sixteenth note (semi-quaver) hi-hat pattern with an open hi-hat on the off-beat, and a prominent, syncopated electric bass line sometimes consisting of octaves.

DowntempoLaid-back electronic music similar to ambient music, but usually with a beat or groove.

ElectroMusic directly influenced by the use of TR-808, Moog keytar synthesizers and funk sampling. It typically feature drum machines and heavy electronic sounding deprived of vocals in general, although if present, they are delivered in a deadpan manner, often through an electronic distortion such as vocoding.

Electronic RockThe combination of electronic music with traditional rock music.

ElectronicaA wide range of contemporary electronic music designed for a wide range of uses, including foreground listening, some forms of dancing, and background music for other activities; however, unlike electronic dance music, it is not specifically made for dancing

HouseMusic strongly influenced by elements of soul and funk-infused varieties of disco. It generally mimics disco's percussion, especially the use of a prominent bass drum on every beat, but may feature a prominent synthesizer bassline, electronic drums, electronic effects, funk and pop samples, and reverb- or delay-enhanced vocals.

IndustrialMusic that draws on transgressive and provocative themes. It is harsh, challenging, and an abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music. Initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments and punk provocation.
